Even though I may have lost about ten pounds in sweat frying 300 egg rolls on the back deck of Point Pleasant building in Georgia heat, my church family is so worth it! They are so thankful and spare no praise for what I do.

As for dessert, I wanted something "peanutty" to round off an Asian dinner. And Epciurious.com had this recipe to try. I altered the crust recipe which called for dark brown sugar. After making a batch, I realized that molasses in dark brown sugar caramelized too much in oven and made the crust too hard.

Hard crust + hard peanut brittle = chipped tooth & dental fillings. Not good. So I used the granulated sugar instead and it worked beautifully.Don't soften the ice cream too much. Layer scoop-able but firm ice cream on baked crust, put a sheet of plastic wrap and gently spread with your warm palms and fingers. Peel off plastic wrap, then sprinkle peanuts and drizzle caramel sauce, repeat. This time saving process eliminated the extra steps of freezing each ice cream layer.Drizzle caramel sauce and brittle.Ahhhh, isn't this just so beautiful? This dessert was so good, it brought tears to my friend, Emily. Now, now, it's OK, Em. Dry your tears and here is another piece.......

This looks awesome! I just saw the photo on one of the photo sites not too far from mine. I couldn't help but click over...I see your'e from Georgia, and obviously a church goer. Funny I found you today of all days. I'm not a church goer (yet-smile), but I was reading about the prophet Daniel today and his vegetarianism. Anyway, I'm glad to find your site-it's so nice!p.s. I'm from Atlanta-born and raised. And I love Savannah. Who doesn't though...!?
